When we got to the kitchen, the dining table is already prepared and it’s just waiting for us to eat. I looked back at Prince Jacques who’s getting assist by one of Francis’ men to remove his chain.

I went to sit down already and Melinda immediately went beside me to pour my teacup some tea. ”You should eat some breakfast before you eat your chocolates.” She said as she smiled at me.

I nodded my head on her before I look back on Prince Jacques who’s having a hard time lifting his feet because of the chain. I suddenly felt bad because of it.

Should I just remove it? I mean... Ah! I should not. I shouldn't pity him, he can still walk so it doesn't really matter.

Prince Jacques is holding his plate of cookies before he sat down with a smile on his lips and excitedly grab his spoon to taste the soup that Melinda prepared.

As far as I know, the palace is full of delicious food. But Prince Jacques here looking like it’s his first time to eat foods like these.

I remembered last night that he told me that they are watching his diet. Does that mean that even if they have all the money to buy foods, and especially that he is the Prince, the crown prince to be exact, yet he couldn't enjoy his meal?

What a terrible life he has. Everybody wants to be in his position yet they don’t know that he couldn't get everything he wants just like what everyone thinks. Of course, I am included in every one. To watch him right now feeling excited about all the food that Melinda prepared makes me feel sad for him.

”Shall we eat?” I said even though I think it wasn't necessary anymore because he’s starting to enjoy his soup already.

He seems to notice that, he looks at me and shyly rubbed his nape. ”My apologies, it looks delicious, ” he said and went back to look at his bowl.

I let out a soft chuckle before I nodded. ”Don’t be sorry, enjoy your meal...” I said.

He changes his mood in a blink of an eye, sometimes he’s intimidating, playful, and looking all so dangerous. Based on how he acts last night, but when he sees foods, he acts like a kid. A jolly one.

I never imagine a day that I could witness a different side of the crown prince of my country.

While eating, my mind went back to think of plans again. I’m planning to go back to the city and ask my father about Leah. I want to deal with her already so my only problem would only go to be Prince Jacques and Jackson.

I know Jackson is a prince but I still couldn't take to call him a prince, not his Highness. He is a jerk anyway, why would I call him that?

I rolled my eyes.

Prince of a jackass, he deserves that. An asshole! A motherfucker.

”Are you alright?”

That’s when I noticed that I am already gripping the spoon to my hands.

I looked down at my hands before looking at Prince Jacques who looks really confused right now. I looked away.

”Yes, don’t mind me...” I said and tried to compose myself.

He shrugged off his shoulder and tried to look like he doesn't mind me at all but also making me feel like he wants to say something. I think he knew what I am thinking right now.

”What is it?” I said, frowning a bit.

I saw how the corner of his lips lifted a bit. He’s enjoying that I am asking him right now. No! I think he is enjoying that he’s getting control of my system.

He doesn't look like he’s kidnapped at all, more like having a vacation or in quarantine.

”You’re currently thinking of plans right now, am I right?”

I don’t know why he needs to ask me when it’s obvious that he knew that he’s correct. I just looked at him with a straight face. He put his elbow to the table before he rests his chin to his palm.

”Jackson is probably looking for me already, the mother Queen and father King knew that I went to Jackson’s unit so they are not going to ask for royal guards to find me.” I frowned a bit, getting a bit confused by what he’s trying to say.

”What I mean is by now, only Jackson would perform a plan to find me. He can’t just go and report to the palace that I am missing unless he got proofs already.”

Does he mean that he needs 24 hours or whatsoever?

Ah! I remembered that in this field, Francis is always making sure that he doesn't leave any proof or evidence.

I licked my lower lip. Feeling all excited that I could just leave Prince Jacques here today and busy myself dealing Leah.

And maybe make some research if Jackson is searching for Prince Jacques now. That jackass probably would cover himself and wouldn't have the balls to confess that he lost the crown prince to the palace.

He will not report this immediately! I can keep Prince Jacques here until I come up with plans.

When I looked back at Prince Jacques, he’s looking at me with a playful smile on his lips. As if he’s enjoying what’s happening right now or I don’t know.

One thing is for sure that he just looks comfortable.

I raised my right eyebrows to him and he just twisted his lips before he went back to continue eating his meal.

My eyes went down to look at his meal and I realized that he already ate a lot.

"Hey, you said that they are keeping tracks to your diet..." I said and he stopped from getting another piece of bacon.

He looks at me with puppy eyes. "I noticed that you a have a gym room so that's enough!" He said almost whining.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling, I guess that food is what I could use to make this one behave, huh?
